Hey. I have an old Packard Bell with a upgraded CPU AMD 2 x 3 GHz processor and a CUDA able Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT gfx, standing in a wardrobe, with Ubuntu 14.04. I don't use the computer to other things than Boinc projects. Propretarian Nvidia drivers I use. According to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing my machine would be able to use GPU on Seti@home. But how do I do, to activate GPU calculation? Think I have all CUDA package I have found in synaptic. boinc-nvidia-cuda nvidia-profiler nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-visual-profiler nvidia-cuda-gdb BOINC are version 7.2.42 (x64), default from apt. In the Boinc manager under "Properties of project SETI@home" it says, under Scheduling, "Don't fetch tasks for NVIDIA GPU -- Projects has no apps for NVIDIA GPU I also run climateprediction.net, but they are not able to use GPU in there projects, but that should SETI@home do. Here are some information on me and my machine. May you see the information?

There are also a VGA gfx on the mother board, but I have inactivated it in Bios. May It be better to use that for the display, instead the extra GFX, or may it only get problems?

Seti does not have a default CUDA or OpenCL application for GPUs. Only for Windows and Macintosh. |

Seti has an Astropulse application for Linux, but not the standard Multibeam one. Which is what it says for you: In the Boinc manager under "Properties of project SETI@home" it says, under Scheduling, "Don't fetch tasks for NVIDIA GPU -- Projects has no apps for NVIDIA GPU Astropulse are only available when the tapes have just been loaded, like now. They need to be separately enabled in the project preferences: Run only the selected applications: SETI@home v7: yes AstroPulse v6: yes Of course, you'll also need to enable the Nvidia GPU in the project preferences. And do that on the correct venue (location). And I was wrong, there is no GPU app for the Mac. |

Thanx. I also deselect "Use CPU, enforced by 6+" in SETI@home preferencces. I have also deselected SETI@home enhanced, should I do that? My CPU-cores work with climatechange.net. /Cheers Johan |

I don't under stand this: "And do that on the correct venue (location)." |

There is box 'Location' at the bottom of computer page: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7332229 (the old name for Location is venue) Also 'separate preferences for .....' can be set on: Computing preferences SETI@home preferences If you changed the 'Location' of the computer and you have created 'separate preferences for [that Location]' make sure to change/look at the "correct venue (location)" Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
